Fans took to social media to showcase their love for the look, with one fan saying: “She looks gorgeous, but gosh, she must be chilly!”

Another fan said: “She’s absolutely spectacular!”

With a third saying: “That dress is OH MY GOD STUNNING!”

A fourth added: “One of my favourite colours! Absolutely love the dress and the accessories.”

The Royal Variety Performance is a yearly event that takes place at the Royal Albert Hall.

The Royal Variety Charity works with those who have worked professionally in the entertainment industry, and in 2024, the Charity set up a dedicated team to assist those in entertainment who are in need of mental health support.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were shown an exclusive performance from Paddington the Musical, composed by McFly frontman Tom Fletcher.

There was also a performance from the West End and Paris casts of Les Misérables, which included Michael Ball, Matt Lucas and Killian Donnelly to celebrate the show’s 40th anniversary.

The event comes just a day after the princess made her first speech since November 2023.

She had taken time away from the public eye following her cancer diagnosis to focus on her chemotherapy, but made her return to public speaking at the Future Workforce Summit in London.

Her speech focused on “building a healthier society” as she said: “My passion and the work of The Centre for Early Childhood stems from one essential truth: that the love we feel in our earliest years fundamentally shapes who we become and how we thrive as adults.

“Love is the first and most essential bond. But it is also the invisible thread, woven with time, attention and tenderness, through consistent, nurturing relationships, which creates the grounded and meaningful environments around a child.

“It is this texture, the weave of love, which forms a child’s emotional world and becomes the foundation, the very fabric of resilience and belonging."
